¿Qué quiere decir "entrañable" aquí?

It means "affectionate" in a general manner.
In Spanish a person may be "entrañable" and something is "entrañable" when related to a person we have affection for.
But right now, I can't figure out a word for it in English, I hope I explained it well enough.

Wow - I have no idea how to translate that - maybe "important" (implying that it's important to the birthday person, and the writer knows that, so s/he's expressing his/her affection)?

"Precious", "significant"? I don't know what kind of expression you English speakers use to emphasize the tenderness of a beloved one's birthday.

un día "entrañable" es un día "especial" con un matiz de nostalgia, como cuando te reunes con la familia en ocasiones especiales como en Navidad, esas reuniones son "entrañables"

Sorry bodhi, I don't think "entrañable" implies nostalgia at all, it may contain tenderness, intimacy, closeness, but not a bit of longing for the past.

Hi Kafetzou,

I have searched all day for the word (it seems that one exists) but am unable to come up with the right one.

If I do I will let you know.
