Comentario sobre Tohorot 6:7
הַבִּקְעָה, בִּימוֹת הַחַמָּה, רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לְשַׁבָּת וּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים לַטֻּמְאָה. וּבִימוֹת הַגְּשָׁמִים, רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לְכָךְ וּלְכָךְ:
Un valle en el horario de verano es un dominio privado con respecto a [asuntos de llevar a cabo] Shabat y es un dominio público con respecto a [asuntos de pureza e] impureza; y en la temporada de lluvias es un dominio privado con respecto a ambos.
Bartenura on Mishnah Tahorot
רשות הרבים לטומאה – for during the dry season many people are found and they go in it to reap and to thresh and to plow the ground, to seed it for the coming year.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
A valley: in summer time is a private domain in respect of the laws of Shabbat, but as a public domain in respect of those of uncleanness; In the summer there are more people in the valley working the fields. Therefore, for matters of uncleanness it is considered a public domain. When it comes to Shabbat it is still a private domain, or, as we explained in yesterday's mishnah, at least not a public domain.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
And in the rainy season it is regarded as a private domain in both respects. In the rainy season people can't work the land in the valleys. Therefore, it is not considered a public domain for either purpose.
