You’ve probably wondered when watermelon is in season. At Sandía Fashion we have always said that summer is a state of mind, which means that we should not let ourselves be carried away by the calendar but by the desire you have to sink your teeth into a piece of watermelon and that happens all year round, doesn’t it? Because of its juicy, refreshing and delicious taste that seems like it was made to be enjoyed at any time.
But wait a minute, when exactly is watermelon season in Spain? And more importantly, when is the perfect time to buy it? Here we tell you all about it!
When is the watermelon season in Spain?
First, the good news: they’ve been available from earlier in the year for some time now – from March, for example. Officially, however, the watermelon season usually begins in mid-spring, around April or May, and lasts until late summer, into September or October. During these months, shops, markets and supermarkets are brimming with fresh, delicious watermelons, ready to be devoured at every family gathering or day at the beach.
When to buy watermelon?
So, when is the perfect time to buy a watermelon and make sure it’s at its peak of sweetness and juiciness? Well, here’s the trick: the key is knowing how to choose it properly! When you go to buy a watermelon, look for one that’s firm, heavy for its size and has a yellow spot on its underside. Yes, you read that right. There’s a common misconception that a yellow spot means it’s gone off, but it’s actually the opposite. This yellow spot is a sign that the watermelon has ripened in the sun and is ready to be enjoyed in all its glory – with extra juiciness, flavour, and, in the case of our brand, that spectacular crunch of our Fashion Watermelon!
Also, tap the watermelon gently with your knuckles. If it sounds hollow, that’s music to your ears! It means the fruit is ripe and ready to tuck into. And remember, don’t be fooled by the size. The biggest watermelons aren’t always the sweetest. So trust your instincts and choose the one that catches your eye, even though we know you’d love to take them all home.
It’s time to enjoy!
Now that you know when watermelon season is in Spain and how to choose the best ones, it’s time to make the most of it! Organise a delicious watermelon party with friends and family, whip up some refreshing cocktails, or simply treat yourself to a slice of this juicy fruit after a hot day. Watermelon season is short but sweet, so make sure you make the most of it and savour every bite.
We’ve already given you the lowdown, and now you know a bit more about summer’s favourite fruit. And since this season is all about the right mindset, all that’s left is to enjoy your plans in the sunshine, with the family, and the hardest part of all… having to share slices of watermelon. Watermelon season in Spain is the perfect time to enjoy this refreshing fruit in all its glory. Remember, choose wisely and get ready to dive into a sea of sweetness and freshness. Long live watermelon season!
