San Xil de Carballo gives this route variant its name. A tiny village with no reliable services. The terrain is hilly and green, with good views back toward the mountains you've crossed.

After Alto de Riocabo and crossing a little river the route on the app bends to the right ( at a little road triangle on the map). The camino however is signed down a path that runs parallel to the road We asked a guide who happened to be there and he said the app route is the old route. So... follow the normal camino signs and you'll rejoin the app route at Montán.
