A sentence in my textbook: Barcelona, que cuenta con una población de 1644000 habitantes, es no es una ciudad muy grande, pero tiene una historia de más de 2000 años.

Why two times "es" here?

I'm with you on this one. I believe the first es is a mistake. - webdunce, DIC 20, 2009

I would think that you wouldn't need both es's.

Barcelona, whose population is 1644000 inhabitants isn't a very big city, but it has a history more than 2000 years old. Barcelona, whose population is 1644000 inhabitants, it isn't a very big city, but it has a history more than 2000 years old.
