Season and origin of Melon in Spain

Melon growing areas

Melon is mainly cultivated in Spain in La Mancha, in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real but also in some areas of Andalusia, Cuenca and Madrid. Its harvesting season is in summer in these areas. We can also enjoy very good melons the rest of the year from warmer climates and tropical areas, mainly Brazil. Well-known brands like Villaconejos (which takes its name from the town of the same name near Chinchón and Aranjuez) have been selecting and importing high-quality melons from countries like Brazil for years when it's not melon season in Spain.
