After August, the season doesn't end: September opens a window for couples and groups of friends without school-age children. Nerja (Málaga) and Marseille are mentioned.
The municipality of Poza de la Sal has completed a new motorhome area with 22 pitches. The investment exceeded 35,000 euros. Use will be free for the first month, after which the rate will be around 2–3 euros per day. The site includes electric hook-ups, an electronic barrier, a stainless steel drain for waste water, a drinking water tap and a cleaning point for caravans. Plans include building changing rooms near the sports area. The new area joins existing ones in Espinosa de los Monteros, Oña, Briviesca, Frías, Medina de Pomar and Santelices.
Javier, a 67-year-old former truck driver, lives in a five-square-metre motorhome because his monthly pension of 500 euros does not cover conventional rent. After a stroke left him partially paralysed, he retired early without the minimum contribution period for a higher pension. His previous rent was 670 euros per month. He sold belongings and borrowed money to buy the motorhome. In winter he sleeps dressed, eats one meal a day and cannot afford a new 300-euro television. Javier links his situation to Spain's housing crisis, which he says also affects younger generations.
The municipality of Oseja de Sajambre has put out to tender the construction of a new motorhome area in the urban space known as La Cortina, next to the Casa del Parque. The investment amounts to €324,000. Works are scheduled for 19 September 2026. The aim is to boost tourism on the Leonese side of Picos de Europa.

The couple receives two ordinary pensions and says this is enough for a comfortable life.
