despejada

Despejada is the feminine singular form of despejado, an adjective used to express clarity or freedom from obstacles. In meteorology and everyday speech, it describes a sky free of clouds (cielo despejado) or a landscape, space, or surface that is open and unobstructed. The word can also describe a surface or area that has been cleared of objects, for example una mesa despejada or una calle despejada.
