Winding canal I've found in foreign city (8)
I believe the answer is:
valencia
'foreign city' is the definition.
(Spanish city)
'winding canal i've' is the wordplay.
'winding' is an anagram indicator.
'canal'+'ive'='canalive'
'canalive' is an anagram of 'VALENCIA'.
'found in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for valencia that I've seen before include "Region and major port of eastern Spain" , "port in the Med" , "somewhere in Spain)" , "city in Spain?" , "European area" .)
