Durazno vs. melocotón — El durazno (peach) is the standard word in Mexico and much of Latin America; el melocotón is the Spanish (Spain) term. This kind of regional variation is common with food vocabulary. Similarly, el plátano (banana) in Spain vs. la banana in Argentina. Knowing both forms avoids confusion when travelling.
