Dos Hermanas (Script error: No such module "IPA"., "two sisters") is a city and municipality in the autonomous community of Andalusia in Spain. It is part of the Seville metropolitan area, lying 15 km (9.3 mi) south of the city of Seville. With a population of 140,463 as of 2024, it is the second-largest municipality in the Province of Seville, the 9th-largest in Andalusia and 50th-largest in Spain.
History
The town’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.

Spanish popstar Melody comes from Dos Hermanas. In 2014, a controversy was sparked when an interviewer for Cuatro TV asked her about her polished accent 'despite being from Dos Hermanas', leading to debate on classism and Madrid-centric snobbery regarding Andalusian accents.[4] Melody represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, coming in 24th place.
