Dos Hermanas hotels - About Dos Hermanas
Dos Hermanas is a Spanish city 15 km (9.3 miles) south of Seville in Andalusia. There were 117,215 residents in 2007.
The city's name, which means "two sisters", dates from its foundation in 1248 by King Ferdinand III of Castile and honours the sisters of Gonzalo Nazareno, one of the king's principal military commanders. For this reason natives of Dos Hermanas are called nazarenos/as.
The main economic activities of the city today are the production and distribution of olive oil and "Spanish olives", together with a significant number of service industries.
The members of Spanish lounge music duo Los del Río (better known by their international hit single, Macarena) are natives of Dos Hermanas and still reside in the city.
