the agricultural area dedicated to pistachio trees
predominantly imported from Iran and California
Rocio Fernandez-Clemente walks through her fields of pistachio trees with a big smile on her face
They are perfectly aligned on the reddish clay soil characterisitic of her village of Corral de Almaguer
This former hairdresser from Madrid checks the growth of the grafts she has just made on the trunks of cornicabra trees – "a native tree that is very resistant to the climate," she explains
she admires the abundant fruit hanging from the branches of the mature trees that she planted 12 years ago
we will be able to begin harvesting," she said with satisfaction on Friday
The cultivation of pistachio trees is booming in Spain
it became the premier country in Europe in terms of cultivated area
the agricultural area dedicated to the fruit
which is mostly imported into Europe from Iran and California
from 5,000 to 55,000 hectares – almost 90% of which are cultivated in Castilla-La Mancha

Autumn stargazing feels like a return to normality for those of us who love to observe the night sky
astronomers leave the long days and short nights of summer behind and welcome the return of dark skies
darker nights allow us to view some of the most loved and prized night-sky objects that return each autumn
Get more autumn stargazing advice with Patrick Moore's top 5 autumn galaxies, our autumn binocular targets and best autumn constellations
And there’s a lot to look forward to in the night sky during autumn or fall
We'll reveal the best objects to see during autumn stargazing from your garden or from a dark-sky site away from light pollution
Are targets are suitable for absolute beginners and well-seasoned astronomers
Wrap up warm and grab a red torch to follow this guide as you head out into the dark
Downloading a stargazing app will help you find your way around the targets we highlight too
The best constellations in September include Andromeda and Cassiopeia
They lie close to each other and are visible after 10pm towards the northeast
The brightest stars in Andromeda are Alpheratz (Alpha Andromedae), Mirach and Almach
Within Andromeda is one of the most famous deep-sky objects of all, the Andromeda Galaxy
An autumn stargazing session wouldn't be completed without a look at the Andromeda Galaxy
the spiral galaxy is the most distant object we can see with the naked eye
Using a small pair of binoculars (10x50) will bring out its central region and will make it appear brighter too
The star Schedar in Cassiopeia will point the way to it
You can find out more about locating it in our guide on how to see the Andromeda Galaxy and our tutorial on easy star-hops
many of us think of the autumn equinox and the Harvest Moon
The autumn equinox is the point at which the Sun illuminates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres equally
marking the start of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere
And near the autumn equinox you'll be able to see the Harvest Moon
The large, sprawling constellation of Taurus
It is dominated by Aldebaran
an unmistakable glowing orange star that forms the eye of the bull
This beautiful jewel of a star can be used to star-hop to the famous Crab Nebula
Too faint to be visible with the naked eye, larger telescopes with 50x magnification will bring this nebula to life as a hazy patch of gas and dust through the eyepiece.
Taurus also hosts two fantastic naked-eye open star clusters
Aldebaran is surrounded by one of these star clusters, a striking V-shaped pattern of stars lying on its side, called the Hyades
Just above this is another open star cluster called the Pleiades
commonly known as the Seven Sisters because of the seven stars you can see with your naked eye
As a nice challenge, see if you can pick out bright star Electra within the cluster
Any autumn stargazing session could involve picking out naked-eye star clusters
the Dragon winds its way between Ursa Major
these constellations hold some delightful targets
The Big Dipper or the Plough is an asterism – a pattern of stars within a constellation – that forms the back and tail of Ursa Major
Mizar and Alcor
a double star in the handle of the Plough can be seen with the naked eye
so reach for your binoculars or small telescope if you are struggling to see the dimmer Alcor
Also within Ursa Major lie deep-sky objects Bode’s Galaxy, M81 and the Cigar Galaxy, M82
Larger telescopes will bring out the spiral structure of Bode’s Galaxy and the rod shape of the Cigar Galaxy.
A full Moon will shine brightly in the night sky on 27 November rising in the east after 4pm
washing out any fainter stars or deep-sky objects
the Moon is a great target for beginners who want to get to know their way around our nearest celestial neighbour
A pair of binoculars will show craters and lunar maria at full Moon
Our autumn stargazing guide takes us into winter
As we approach mid-winter, the stunning constellation of Orion
It can be found rising in the east after sunset and is easy to identify from the three stars aligned in an almost straight line across its centre
These three stars – Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka – form the famous asterism Orion’s Belt
Orion is a favourite with many sky-watchers, not only because of its two brightest stars – Betelgeuse, a bright orange star and Rigel
a cooler blue supergiant – but because it contains one of the most beautiful deep-sky objects in the whole sky.
The Orion Nebula
M42 is located in the centre of Orion’s Sword
a shorter vertical line of three fainter stars which hangs down from Orion’s Belt
The nebula looks like the middle ‘star’ of the sword to the naked eye
but a little bit fuzzier than the stars above and below it
Even a small pair of 10x50 binoculars will bring out this stellar nursery’s grey-green nebulosity
A tight cluster of four stars called the Trapezium glows within the heart of the Orion Nebula
and can be easily seen through a small telescope.
The constellation of Gemini
the Twins can be found above Orion’s left shoulder
the twins appear to be lying down with their feet near Orion’s raised arm
Gemini’s two most prominent stars, Castor and Pollux
form the heads of the twins and can be found by drawing an imaginary line through Rigel to Betelgeuse
Extending this line will lead you neatly to Castor and Pollux
when Earth’s northern pole is at its maximum tilt away from the Sun and our star will be at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky

Northern Hemisphere growers are busy with the grape harvest
with many wine regions looking forward to a great vintage
looking into various wine-related crimes – and one of them is the stuff of movies and bestselling spy fiction
Let's take a look at some stories you might have missed this week
some 200km (120 miles) west of the capital
addressed to Lacalle and two other colleagues in the centre-right politial party: Mario Héber Usher and Carlos Julia Pereyra
let us drink to our country in its new phase"
Lacalle calls the addressees that evening and informs them of the gifts
centrist right-wing politicians operating within Uruguay's military-civil dictatorship
Pereyra and Héber (along with another National Party colleague
Dardo Ortiz) met with representatives of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies and are keen to open up Uruguay and push it in a more democratic direction
with some political friends," said Pereyra
Luis Alberto Lacalle who told me that he had received – in a very unusual and anonymous way – a gift for himself
Mario Heber and myself [...] Although someone expressed the advisability of not drinking it
due to the peculiar conditions in which 'the gift' had arrived
We were all speculating about what would happen on the 31st and bottles were almost forgotten."
the three politicians listen to Thursday's radio broadcast
The National Security Council (the COSENA) is in session on that day and rumours are already circulating as to its significance.
the whispers centered around the country's de facto
and the possibility of his being stood down by the military arm of the governing body
presided by General Gregorio Conrado Álvarez (since linked to the US-backed wave of repression in South America at the time
despite the radio giving regular updates on the progress of the COSENA meeting
A communiqué is reported at 2pm but is not seen until 8pm
It details simply that the meeting had established a wage increase
"It seemed a small thing for such a long meeting," said Pereyra
At his wife's behest Lacalle throws away his bottle
The remaining two bottles remain untouched
pours herself a glass of the Riesling and is dead by the evening
Each bottle has been poisoned with lethal amounts of the agricultural insecticide Mevinphos
no one has been formally charged for the murder
despite numerous theories and developments
currently sitting as Uruguay's Minister of Interior
but most theories point the finger at well-connected right-wing extremists; or the country's own spy bureau
the DNII (National Directorate for Information and Intelligence)
possibly in conjunction with the CIA; or both
the US government provided 14 declassified documents pertaining to the affair although they appear to have shed little light on the case
it is understood that not all US documents have been released
Additional lines of inquiry centered around fingerprints found on the bottles
According to left-wing Uruguayan periodical Brecha
Zabala was assigned bodyguard duties in Europe and has never faced an inquiry
According to the same piece published by Brecha in July this year
Judge Gabriela Merialdo asked the Technical Police for all the background information on the fingerprints and the toxicological analyses
But neither the bottles nor the reports could be located
A possible opening also appeared in 2010 when handwriting on the notes accompanying the bottles was named by a calligraphy expert as a match for that of former policewoman
Lemos was taken into custody but a second analysis
and performed by the original calligraphy expert used in 1978
who in 1978 was working for the head of police
Victor Castiglioni (also a high-level suspect)
the national press reported that another line of inquiry had opened the week before
following the statement of a former policeman
currently serving time for rape and sexual violence
"the former police officer had never testified in the case before and was summoned after expert analysis of one of the envelopes in which the messages were sent had identified his fingerprint
The newspaper [La Diaria] adds that in the hearing the man gave conflicting and at times contradictory versions of his story."
(The organophosphate insecticide Mevinphos can still be found in certain corners of the globe although it was generally phased out of agricultural (and viticultural) use in the late 1990s and early 2000s
20 farmworkers in California were rushed to hospital after walking into a field of iceberg lettuce two hours after an application of the chemical
If the eight ton per hectare yield declared last year in Champagne was low but
given the global production issues due to Covid
what of the news from Reims this week of actual volumes of "around" 6.5 tons per hectare for the 2021 harvest
the figure makes the July announcement of a 10-ton per hectare yield limit (anything beyond this would not qualify for the Champagne appellation) wildly optimistic
not least given this season's challenging weather
According to wine writer and Champagne specialist Caroline Henry
the 6.5 tons per hectare is "the lowest in the 10 years I have been here"
According to CIVC figures (via the French National Statistics Agency INSEE)
the 2021 vintage is even lower than the hail and heatwave-hit 2003 vintage
which topped out at around eight tons per hectare
yields have generally been between 10 and 14 tons per hectare.
has stuck to the mantra of low volumes but high quality
"Despite the low volumes (initial estimates around 6,500kg per hectare)
the quality is promising," it said in a statement
Four men were up in court this week following an attempted robbery from a winery in the town of Corral de Almaguer, 110km (70 miles) south of Madrid, in the central Spanish wine region of La Mancha
The four broke into winery offices through a window and made off with numerous bottles of wine and a mobile phone
the local Guardia Civil police force was alerted to the break-in through the winery alarm system
patrol cars in the nearby town of Dosbarrios
some 40km (25 miles) northwest of Corral de Almaguer
stopped a car containing four men and moving at high speed through the town
A search of the car located the wines and the telephone
Two of the four thieves were already known to the law
As well as several other wineries in the town
Corral de Almaguer is the base of one of largest winery-cooperatives in La Mancha: Bodegas Altovela
As the themed dancing event Tango Through Wine Country begins this week in the Argentinian wine capital of Mendoza (and hopefully one day enjoys more international participation)
so Mendoza also sees the potentially more social distance-friendly National Wine Label competition opened up to entries nationwide
Hosted by the Mendoza stock exchange (the Bolsa de Comercio de Mendoza
the winning label will grace the BCM's own 2021 vintage release
the jury will comprise "professionals with recognized experience in design
communication and viticulture" and entries will close 1 November
The winner will also receive 200,000 pesos ($2000)
while the Mendoza town council is putting up a 100,000 peso prize for a people's choice
Tango Through Wine Country started on October and runs until next weekend
Please be mindful of social distancing requirements and Covid precautions where you are but physical distance from Mendoza should hopefully be no barrier to tango.
