Looks like people will be able to take the original route through this chaps farm again and avoid the extra 8 km of the Rio Lobos diversion. Someone is going to have fun painting out that mess of confusing arrows when you hit the highway.

Lol!
But excellent news!

If I understand correctly, the Camino will not go through his farm as was possible up to 2011 but rather beside it. Either way an improvement to the current deviation through Riolobos.
The first time I was able to cross the farm (you see Galisteo right in front of you). The second time in 2014 we tried to find a way around the farm as the owner of the bar in Grimaldo said it was possible and drew us a picture. Much to our disappointment - and hours off track - we had to backtrack and still go through Riolobos. Geez, I think that we did a complete circle around Galisteo before reaching the town. My walking partner will never let me forget that one!

This of course suggests it's time for a return visit to the Vdlp for you.
