B&B if you're continuously on the move. It's less time consuming and you have less to carry. Also you'll be more refreshed sleeping in a bed.
Get a GPS - they're priceless. Carry michelin maps for reference. Easy to mount using a RAM, SW Motech, or Touratech bracket.
Plymouth Santander is a great crossing, modern boat and you roll off into sunshine and good riding. Visit the Picos de Europe mountains if you can find time, then the Pyrenees. Ride the N240 from Sort to Adrall if poss - asphalt heaven! You could turn left there and head into France via Andorra.
Plan your route basic route first and base daily mileage at 250miles max to determine evening stops. (assuming you want to ride twisty rodes and have time to stop for food, drink, and photos etc.
