Station in Cordoba sector (4)

I believe the answer is:

base

'station' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in cordoba sector' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BASE' is hidden in the letters of 'cordoba sector'.

(Other definitions for base that I've seen before include "Not a noble" , "Ignoble; low part" , "Meanspirited" , "Venial; headquarters" , "Not worth much" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
