To reach the starting point from where we started the journey only have to reach the village of Proaza end of town and turn left just at the turn of the power plant and once the river go to the pretty little town of Villamejín where we leave the car at hotel "The Sinriella" from this point and could see perfectly the peak we had to climb, the The peak Forcada (1.108m)
The temperature at the time the trek was great because we did not even need to bring warm clothing, a day of glorious sunshine and a temperature of about 16 degrees normal for anything else December.
started the march along a road without any loss cemented comes from the village in a southerly direction towards the flock of Acier, little by little we are facing the first and steep rolling hills and almost without realizing it we gain height having always on our right and watching us all the time the peak La Forcada, we always sharp rise and reached the village abandoned Hiendelafaya today made only for five or six huts for livestock and the remains of what was once a chapel as the bell tower was dismantled and moved to the town of Villamejín.
At this point, and one of the many sources that are on the way we stopped to get some air and take a swig of water as the temperatures climb and the sun even hits us in the face in December on the rise and that noticeable when walking.
We continued climbing and soon we find ourselves in the beautiful Acier Collada (681m), a large jacket, and Proaza Quirós boundary, which tally seems to us a great golf course with its perfectly manicured boil in which we find some that Another horse who looked at us with surprise to see us. From this point we
two ways of approaching the peak, a farmer on a road that goes to our right and another right in front of the flock where we formwork that was the one we caught, much harder and steep but to be gaining altitude more quickly than on the other side.
After these first, hard climb hills that as I leave the fold just since we went to the valley of the Forcada without any loss as a way forward can be seen quite well and is marked by sprues.
We now face an uphill slope between cliffs as they did not want to follow the marked path which would use in the fall, as I say we follow for a few rocks we had seen since the middle of the Collada as the day was good and clear and we wanted to change the way we climb to the top a little.
Once past the ram drive and gone through a flock of sheep that needed several stitches to see our presence to arrange the above path and came to the Collada de la Force (1.020m.)

Once up, after a good rest and continue the road marking without realizing because they are very attached to each other and believing that this was the peak La Forcada we look at the cover of the peak La Hoya, once the summit we realize that this peak was not the force if not De La Hoya, but good to the day that we had two peaks for the price of one, do the obligatory pictures from this beautiful peak with impressive views and headed and not lost to the peak's Forcada which would reach in no more than 15 minutes without any difficulty
