Spanish term
pista parcelaria
Spanish to English

Hi everyone
I am translating a study about some saltworks in Spain and there is a discussion of the old salt trails that were used to transport the salt for sale once it had been extracted. There is one section where it refers to what was a salt trail but which today is a "pista parcelaria". Despite extensive searching on the internet I am not at all sure how to translate "pista parcelaria" so any help would be much appreciated. The full sentence is:
El GR 1 recorre parte del antiguo camino salinero que accedía la valle del Omecillo y que hoy es una pista parcelaria.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Penny

Pistas parcelarias
The term comes from the extensive land reform that has been carried out in Spain, called "concentración parcelaria", whereby small plots of land were amalgamated to form larger, more viable fields, and then redistributed among the original owners. As part of that reform, new tracks were laid to improve access to the newly created fields, known variously as "pistas parcelarias" or (in my part of Spain) "caminos de concentración".
The web reference below gives an explanation, and cites "access roads"

Personally, I wouldn't use access *roads*, because that kind of implies that they're surfaced and suitable for cars, which these usually aren't.
