Image of Ventosa del Río Almar, not of the place itself.

The name alludes to a place exposed to the wind, beside the river Almar; the river name itself is probably equivalent to alamar, a medieval word for «poplar grove», so that the place name describes a windy town on the bank of a river lined with poplars.
