San Pedro de Monte to Fresneña

When I was leaving Viloria de Rioja in October 2022, I saw a sign for a variante or alternativo pointing to San Pedro de Monte. It was not there in 2014, when Streetview's cameras went by. As I had walked the 'official' route twice before, I took the variante. I walked through San Pedro, but I don't remember seeing any yellow arrows after that. I seemed to be walking a long time in the middle of nowhere until I saw Fresneña in the distance. It's a bit odd that the road signs at the turning for San Pedro don't mention Fresneña. After Fresneña, I walked to Belorado. I don't remember following yellow arrows. Perhaps I asked for directions.
Have you followed this route? Did you take a photo of the sign as you left Viloria de Rioja? Do you have a map of the variante?
