I am working in Matamoros, Mexico and when I ask people there what they call cantalope or honey dew melons I get a blank stare. Are there words in Spanish for cantalope and honey dew melons?

Good question. I'd like to see what others say, as I don't know either. - unraveled, SEP 20, 2009

Honeydew melon - melón verde, honeydew , casaba o Melón Tuna

cantaloupe - melón cantaloupe

You can always explain or describe the fruit you have in mind.
