Standing in a field of apple trees in Catalonia, fruit and cereal farmer Ramón Falguera looks worried. Last year, fruit harvests dropped by around a third and wheat by half due to a lack of rain and restrictions on water use in this area of northeast Spain. The water canal used for irrigating the farmland, which stems from rivers born in the Pyrenees mountains, only opened for a month last spring for the first time since it was built 160 years ago. The drought is thought to be the worst in 200 years, hitting large swathes of the region following more than three years of low rainfall and record...

The almond trees are usually among the first to bloom, on the turn of March to April, in this southeastern corner of the Central European country. But it was more than two weeks earlier this year when crowds of people came to admire the rows of flowering trees in a most unexpected place. Almond-growing areas include California, the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, Chile and Australia. The Czech Republic, given its colder climate, i...

St Helena, a small, craggy island in the South Atlantic Ocean, has never seen many tourists. It’s for a good reason though - it's one of the most remote inhabited places in the world. Up until 2017, it took five nights by boat to reach the British overseas territory, located halfway between southern Africa and Brazil.

In 2023, the island welcomed about 2,100 leisure travellers - and the aim is to attract e...
