El pueblo es la única en todo el Camino Francés que lleva el nombre de una santa (St. Catalina de Alejandría). Una reliquia de St. Blaise se mantiene en la iglesia parroquial, y se sabía que la ciudad tenía un hospital de peregrinos. La parte "Somoza" del nombre es una simple descripción de su posición geográfica al pie de la colina. La colina, por supuesto, está por delante.

Fantastic egg omelette and homemade fresh carrot cake. Don’t miss out. It’s the 2nd cafe when you enter the town. Cute stamp too.

This is exceptional. A beautifully restored and sympathetically modernized 17th century house. Best shower and bed on the Camino. Lovely sitting room to sit and enjoy views over the countryside.They don’t do dinner but either restaurant in town is adequate

The first place had the music blaring (and later received 2 separate reports of very rude staff), so I moved on to the second cafe - what a great move!
We had a big bowl of Yoghurt, muesli and fresh fruit. They also had plenty of homebaked cakes, which I didn't buy but others said we're delicious.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I have myself a rest day at Via Avis and I am SO GLAD I DID. It’s a boutique hotel for cheaper than some of the motels I’ve stayed in. Carlos and Daina has bought this stone home that was built in 1776, and they spent 6 years renovating it as it hadn’t been lived in for over 100 years. They did a faaaabulous job- the renovation is gorgeous and the decor and furnishings are superb. I spent my time hanging out in the Salon with the view and taking a bubble bath in my gorgeous hotel room. They don’t serve dinner there but David at La Boheme has a great vegetarian donation dinner that I was welcome too. This is probably the only place on the Camino that I want to go back for another visit. DONT MISS IT!

This is a charming little town, and the first albergue you see (El Caminante) is a great place for an overnight stop. Clean, comfortable rooms and bathrooms, a wonderful pilgrims’ meal for a reasonable price (14€), and other pilgrim extras. We were so glad we stopped!

I walked into Bar Susana hoping for a humble tortilla. She made me a fresh omelet with toast with herbs! Delicious and filling and the bar has great vibes. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast stop. Had a ham and cheese croissant fresh out of the oven. The owners are former pilgrims and we had a great chat while I ate.

What an oasis! You can get amazing muesli bowl with yogurt and fruits. My healthiest second breakfast on the Camino so far. Also, very nice staff!

This 19th century home with a lovely courtyard was refurbished by the grand daughter of the family. They provide a delicious meal and breakfast. They are happy to make any dietary changes you want. Wonderful and comfortable!
