Local newspaper El Mundo reported the body was cut into more than 1000 pieces, and the woman's vital organs were missing.
Former friends of the alleged cannibal told the newspaper how he had become addicted to drugs, and spent most of his time on a park bench outside his home, drinking with homeless people.
Gomez was well known to police, due to a series of previous arrests for domestic violence against his mother.
A neighbour told local newspaper El Pais the man's mother often had bruises.
"The mother would come down full of bruises and tell us she had fallen with the dog."
According to the neighbour, the mother never accused her son of causing her injuries.
Gomez has been undergoing psychiatric evaluation, but is expected to remain in prison until his court appearance, reports El Mundo.
