airy

Homework / test English to Spanish Art/Literary Geology travel guide
Looming over the hamlet of La Carrasca, at 962 metres, Cerro de La Mezquita is the highest point of the Cabrera range. Its summit, or rather its two almost equally high tops (962 m and 960 m) about two hundred metres apart, which I’ve been to on an earlier occasion, are airy places of quirkily eroded limestone pavement and low vegetation. One has a trig point and a small mast, the other has a tiny shed-like building and also a mast. So they are not pristine places but they nevertheless have a wild feel and are superb viewpoints. However, as Eduardo adds in a postscript to a couple of photos he emails the day after our walk, ‘... es la que el ejercito piensa destruir proximamente, para construir un radar’, ‘... it’s this that the army is thinking of destroying in the near future by building a radar installation’.

abierto y luminoso (lugar)

Yo en este caso entiendo "airy" más en este sentido, de un lugar amplio, espacioso, abierto y con mucha luz (luminoso, diáfano). Un saludo :)

agree berbeito : My guess is that what the writer is getting at is the sense of being somewhere that feels open and spacious, maybe with a little breeze, more than likely also with big views.
