Motorway and a river ring a foreign resort (8)
I believe the answer is:
marbella
'foreign resort' is the definition.
'marbella' can be an answer for 'resort' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'foreign' bit.
'motorway and a river ring a' is the wordplay.
'motorway' becomes 'M' (as in motorway names - M1, M4 etc).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'ring' becomes 'bell' (both can mean to call on the phone).
'm'+'a'+'r'+'bell'+'a'='MARBELLA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for marbella that I've seen before include "Costa del Sol resort" , "Costa del Sol city" , "Spanish resort town" .)
