Art/Literary - Tourism & Travel / Cuenca | | Spanish term or phrase: zonas en resalte | Antiguamente, estas plataformas estaban ocupadas por viviendas pero con el paso del tiempo han quedado como zonas en resalte o miradores convertidos en zonas ajardinadas desde las cuales es posible asomarse a la hoz que forma la geografía.
I need to check my understanding of this.
"Over time they have become..."
Many thanks |
| | | overhangs | Explanation:
Hi Adam,
DRAE and Oxford definitions are almost identical, but frankly, I only really know the term overhang as used in scuba diving, so not sure if applicable:
OED: overhang, noun: a part of something that sticks out or hangs over another thing
DRAE
resalte.
1. m. Parte que sobresale.
Good luck!

In your text 'overhang areas' - or even verbalized: 'overhanging'/'overhung' areas

Well, I'd certainly hang on a bit.
Other alternatives that might fit are:
ledges,
shelves,
balconies (though I suppose you have this one for other purposes ni the text)
Cheers.
