History

In the testament of Queen Doña Estefanía, widow of King García Sanchez III of Navarre (from Nájera), leaves to her son Don Sancho, with Viguera and other villages, like Soricano.

In 1070, the kings of Pamplona Don Sancho and Doña Placencia granted the monastery of Saints Cosme and Damián a portion of the tithes from their holdings in Viguera, Hornos, Entedigone (Entrena), and half a mill in Solarana (Sorzano). All these villages are located near Logroño.

Sorzano remained a village of Nalda until 1632.
