Loves bags left somewhere in Portugal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oporto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in portugal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'loves bags left somewhere' is the wordplay.
'loves' becomes 'oo' (love means 0 in tennis).
'bags' indicates putting letters inside (bag can mean secures or steals).
'left somewhere' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard. I am not sure about the 'somewhere' bit.).
'oo' enclosing 'port' is 'OPORTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oporto that I've seen before include "European city" , "Second largest city in Portugal" , "foreign place" , "Portuguese wine trade centre" , "Wine city in Portugal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
