Spanish region with a mostly luxurious island area (9)
I believe the answer is:
andalusia
'spanish region' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with a mostly luxurious island area' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'and'.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'luxurious' becomes 'lush' (I've seen this in another clue).
'island area' becomes 'ia' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'lush' with its last letter taken away is 'lus'.
'and'+'a'+'lus'+'ia'='ANDALUSIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for andalusia that I've seen before include "Southernmost region of Spain, where they dance flamenco" , "Costa del Sol region" , "Spain's southernmost region" , "Region of Europe" , "southern Spanish region" .)
