The name likely derives from the area's almond groves, as "almendra" translates to "almond."[1] The 2021 census recorded the civil parish's population as 308, down from 383 in 2011.[2]
Almendra is located near the Douro River. The village predates Roman settlement. The parish church has a Romanesque structure and a preserved 16th century interior. Another important monument is the manor house of the Viscounts of Banho.[1]
