Crossword Genius

One at home in Madrid perhaps — and Paris, surprisingly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spaniard

'one at home in madrid' is the definition.
(someone from Spain)

'and paris surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'and'+'paris'='andparis'
'andparis' is an anagram of 'SPANIARD'.

'perhaps' is the link.

(Other definitions for spaniard that I've seen before include "Person from Eurozone" , "Native of southern European country" , "Type mostly found in Madrid" , "Malaga man or woman, perhaps?" , "European national" .)
