Discover Dos Hermanas

Dos Hermanas offers several points of interest to help you plan your trip: green spaces, a transport hub with a historic railway station, religious and archaeological heritage, and the Romería de Valme. If you are looking for a hotel in Dos Hermanas, these topics can help you organise your interests for your stay. The following places and traditions reveal different facets of the destination—from nature and outdoor activities to architectural history and festive culture.

Green spaces and nature watching

Parque de la Corchuela is an 84-hectare nature park. Its century-old pine forest provides plenty of shade; the park also features sports facilities and a diverse range of wildlife. The park thus combines a distinctive landscape with opportunities for sport. It can be accessed via the road from Dos Hermanas to Isla Menor, near the Isla industrial estate.

Parque de la Alquería del Pilar has a different character: this garden, covering more than 13 hectares, includes numerous botanically interesting tree species and old trees. Its layout is attributed to the French landscape architect Forestier. Both the trees and the garden's design are therefore central features. Activities there include watching birds and fish, a children's play area, sports trails, and sports facilities. The auditorium hosts major events.

Comparing the two green spaces by their main features brings the contrast between a nature park and a garden to the fore. Corchuela is defined by its pine forest, shade, and diverse wildlife; the Alquería also offers botanically interesting trees and specific opportunities for watching birds and fish. This can help you decide whether to focus more on the character of the nature park or on the garden's varied features.

Getting around and a digital route

Plaza del Arenal is a transport hub and home to a railway station built in 1917 in the Neo-Mudéjar style. The square's transport function and the station's year of construction offer two different points of reference: the square helps with orientation, while the station's architecture can be placed in its historical and stylistic context.

The Ruta Fotográfica de Dos Hermanas is a web app with an exclusive audio guide feature and geolocation. Its content is available in Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese. The digital format combines an audio tour with a location feature; the four languages give you a specific point of reference when checking which language option suits your interests.

Architectural history and archaeological heritage

The oldest temple in the town is dedicated to Saint Anne and built in the Mudéjar style. Its 17th-century Baroque altarpiece contains a Gothic sculpture of Saint Anne. The details of the building bring together different art-historical periods: the temple's Mudéjar style, the Baroque altarpiece, and the Gothic sculpture. The town's architecture can thus also be viewed through its different styles.

Remains are located at the highest point of the archaeological zone of Orippo. The archaeological area of Orippo also contains the remains of a military bastion, which was modified during the Arab period and in later times. The bastion adds an archaeological dimension to the area's architectural history, as well as evidence of changes across several historical periods.

The Romería de Valme

The Romería de Valme is a recurring tradition with a clear time and place: it takes place on the third Sunday of October and carries the image from the parish church of Santa María Magdalena to the Ermita del Cortijo del Cuarto. Since 1976, the romería has been recognised as a festival of National Tourist Interest. The date and the route taken by the image provide specific points of reference for your planning. If you would like to plan your stay around the romería, check the dates for your chosen year.
