Off the beaten track/path
off the beaten track/path
uncommon; out of the ordinary: a tiny shop that was off the beaten track.
An unusual route or destination, as in We found a great vacation spot, off the beaten track. The expression alludes to a well-worn path trodden down by many feet and was first recorded in 1860, although the phrase beaten track was recorded in 1638 in reference to the usual, unoriginal way of doing something.
What would be a good translation into Spanish?
I thought of 'poco común', 'extraordinario'. 'Fuera de las vías más transitadas'.
Any other ideas?
