terral
Algunas noches sopla el terral y los postigos golpean contra los muros encalados.
I know it is a kind of wind. What matters here is more the tone than the technical accuracy. "A sea breeze"?
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Technically correct, of course. But Asker says "What matters here is more the tone than the technical accuracy."

And stylistically. The author went to the trouble of saying that it is the land breeze, not the sea breeze or the breeze.

I would leave the word terral as it is. Earthy is a possible translation.
Cheers!

We all need educating! Why doesn't everybody just do more research instead of thinking we know everything off the top of our heads!
