Yes. down the very bottom at the back. You might have to use a piece of small wire to unblock.

Strimmer cord works a treat then some hot soapy water
Yes, strimmer cord won't cause any damage to the rubber.
as the others have said, its very small and often bunged up with crud.
i make a habit of wiping that area clean every time i wash the car

Whilst your at it check the drains where the hood hinge is on either side, takes a bit of finding but its within the metal well that the hinge pivot sits and a rubber pipe runs down to the underside of the car just in front of the rear wheels on either side. If you can't see it from above have a look underneath for the end of the pipe. A little water poured into the top well and you should see it trickle out of the pipe underneath the car.
Mine kept getting blocked, so I would stick paper towels in there when filling up at the garage.

Any chance of a picture for location?

Nope there is an internal drain hole just under the gap shown on Dino D's Photo. It is in the form of a type of open box section that collects the water from the hood and channels it into a drainage hole.Proof at last..
