Melons and Water melons

In summer there used to be one of these melon and watermelon stalls under a shady tree just a few hundred meters from Bahia Dorada. But that disappeared years ago, and the site was used for an upmarket complex of apartments. But stalls like it still exist! This summer I saw this one on the road to the coast, coming down the mountain from Ronda.
Experts give a water melon a hearty slap, and listen for the right sort of 'thump' to be sure its ripe! I do the ritual slap. Although I don't know the right sound, it's always delicious anyway!
