Galizano supplements its cattle farming and dairy economy with tourism. The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción stands at the center of town. The camino splits here again — one option follows the main road to Somo, the other heads north to the coast for a scenic route along the Loredo beach.
May: San Isidro Labrador on the 15th, with a large fair celebrating farming. July: San Pantaleón on the 27th, including a romería to the ermita in his name. August: Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, patroness of the city, on the 14th and 15th. San Roque on the 16th.
The camino splits again in Galizano. One option is to return to the main road and follow it all the way into Somo. The quieter option is to pass through town and continue north to the sea to follow a coastal route which enters Somo at the edge of the Loredo beach.

I know I am hiking in the off season, and it’s Monday after 17:00, but it was a total ghosttown in Galizano: I couldn’t find a single supermarket, restaurant, or hostel open when I walked through town. Off to Somo!

Take the coastal route recommended here! Absolutely stunning and worth the extra km.

The coastal path is absolutely breathtaking - don’t miss it! Lots of untouched beaches and also a great new hostel called Wayve Hostel which has great views and hosts.
