English term

thin out

Homework / test English to Spanish Art/Literary Tourism & Travel guidebook
In calle Las Aguilas there is a green sign on a house wall indicating the way to Playa de San Pedro. On the road out of the village are a couple of further signs then a rambla after the buildings thin out. Just beyond this a ‘Sendero’ noticeboard shows a map of the walk to El Plomo and Agua Amarga, giving the distance as 12 kilometres with an estimated time of four and a half hours.

The meaning of ‘after the buildings thin out’ is that the buildings become more separated towards the edge of the village, rather than that they can be seen in the distance.
