San Gil Variant

[intrepidtraveler]

Has anyone recently walked this route? If so, was the way to Carcaboso clearly marked? According to the Gronze schematic the San Gil variant to Carcaboso appears to be shorter than the "regular" route. Is this true or is it wishful thinking on my part? Would love to hear from anyone who has walked this variant. Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply.

I didn't take it, but I saw the sign. I heard it was a bit shorter. I needed some allergy medicine, so I wanted to stop in Galisteo. The walk from Galisteo to Carcaboso is totally uninspiring, alongside a road, so I think the alternative can't be any worse.. The GPS tracks might help. https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-sender...ante-por-san-gil-y-la-calzada-romana-18151388

Thank you for the link to the tracks. Maps.me doesn't show any of the routes in that area continuing through to Carcaboso which has me a little concerned.
