Wind-farms at La Ventosa

La Ventosa is a town of about 4000 inhabitants in the municipality of Juchitán de Zaragoza, in the state of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico. The name means "the windy one". Because of the strong winds in the area many wind-farms have been built in the area.[1] It lies at the junction of Mexican Federal Highway 185 with Mexican Federal Highway 190.
