I miss in the route key a way for "Gran Recorrido" ("Big distance")
routes here in Spain, which are routes which cover several kms, off road
most of the time, but which use footways, normal tracks (where motor
vehicles are allowed), some roads, etc.

So how would I tag this? Does the route need to be its own way, or
should we just tag the roads/footways/tracks the route uses with the
route tag?
