Yes, the GR11 is an approved long-distance footpath marked with red and white paint. <\/strong>These marks are registered by the Spanish Federation of Mountain Sports and Climbing (FEDME) and their management corresponds to the autonomous mountain federations of the territories it crosses (Euskadi, Navarre, Aragon, Andorra and Catalonia). Maintenance is carried out in each place through public-private partnerships, different entities, mountain clubs, federates and volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the forum, the state of signposting of some sections of the GR11 is often commented on.<\/strong>as in this case for the Cerdanya section<\/a><\/strong>where even possible vandalism of the marking is reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"GR11<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I can speak of the case of Navarra, for example, where I have had the pleasure of having participated for some years as a volunteer in the marking of GRs (until parenthood made it more complicated for me). In this case, the maintenance system is supported by a group of volunteers, which the FNDME trains and coordinates<\/a>. You are assigned a section, with more people depending on how complicated the marking is (if it is an isolated place, very long, etc.), and with paint in hand and some stakes, all this material provided by the Federation, as well as mileage expenses, you maintain the signposting of the trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, the GR11 signposting is correct and you should have no problem following the markings. <\/strong>That does not detract from the fact that there are some poorly maintained stretches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you've been walking for a while and can't find any marks, be wary, <\/strong>You may have wandered off the path. This is quite common in many cases when we are not paying attention, either because we are in a group and chatting comfortably, and sometimes we get lost. It is very easy to get off the path at a turn and go straight ahead along a stretch that we shouldn't have. If you haven't seen a sign for a while, be wary. <\/p>\n\n\n
