Holiday apartment in Dos Hermanas – Parks, culture and Romería de Valme

Dos Hermanas combines nature experiences and culture in various forms. Large parks with old trees and diverse wildlife stand alongside festival traditions, Mudéjar architecture and archaeological traces. A digital web app with an audio guide is also among the offerings that make it possible to experience the town from different perspectives.

Nature and parks

Parque de la Corchuela is an 84-hectare nature park. It includes a hundred-year-old pine forest, plenty of shade, sports fields and diverse wildlife. The park can be reached via the road from Dos Hermanas to Isla Menor; it is located near the Isla industrial estate.

Another green space is Parque de la Alquería del Pilar. The garden, which covers more than 13 hectares, contains numerous tree species of botanical interest and considerable age. The layout of the grounds is attributed to the French landscape architect Forestier. The same park offers opportunities for observing birds and fish, a children's play area, sports trails and sports fields. There is also an auditorium where major events take place.

Culture

Plaza del Arenal is a transport hub and is home to a railway station built in 1917 in the Neo-Mudéjar style. Another architectural testimony is the town's oldest temple, dedicated to Saint Anne. It is built in the Mudéjar style; its 17th-century Baroque altarpiece contains a Gothic sculpture of Saint Anne.

Romería de Valme takes place on the third Sunday of October every year. During this event, the image is carried from the parish church of Santa María Magdalena to the Ermita del Cortijo del Cuarto. Since 1976, Romería de Valme has been recognised as a festival of national tourist interest.

Archaeological traces

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 that was remodelled during the Arab period and in later periods. Thus, alongside the town's visible architecture, an older archaeological layer also emerges.
