History | Economy | Transmitter | Sport

🇪🇸 Dos Hermanas is a Spanish city 15 km south of Seville in Andalusia.

History The city's name, which means "two sisters", dates from its founding in 1248 by King Ferdinand III of Castile and honours Elvira and Estefanía Nazareno, the two sisters of Gonzalo Nazareno, one of the king's principal military commanders. For this reason natives of Dos Hermanas are called nazarenos/as.

In Tirso de Molina's play The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest (El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra) (1612-1620), Dos Hermanas is mentioned as the place where Don Juan Tenorio manages to interpose himself in the marriage of two plebeians, Arminta and Batricio, whom he cleverly deceives. The Trickster of Seville and Stone Guest is the play from which the myth of "Don Juan" derives the name.

Economy 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.

Transmitter At Dos Hermanas, south of Los Palacios there is a powerful broadcasting mediumwave facility with a 232 metre tall guyed mast, used for the transmission of the first program of RNE with 300 kW on 684 kHz. The transmitter, which is most often designated as "RNE-1 Sevilla" can be received easily at night throughout Europe and northern Africa.
