Land to the left of Spain and Portugal? (7)
I believe the answer is:
liberia
'land' is the definition.
(Liberia is an example)
'the left of spain and portugal?' is the wordplay.
'the left of' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'spain and portugal?' becomes 'iberia' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'iberia'='LIBERIA'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for liberia that I've seen before include "West African nation" , "Hot country" , "Monrovia's country" , "African republic, capital Monrovia" , "W. African nation" .)
