Is my Spanish trip realistic?

I am planning our first overseas motorhome trip to Spain to get some Winter warmth and would welcome any advice as to whether the distances I plan between sites are practical given the state of the roads and traffic issues in February!

Arrive Santander 8:00am, drive to Ariztigain site (CMC ref:E40) for 1 night. Next day drive to Pena Montanesa (E12) to stay 4 nights. Then on to Bonterra (E19) to stay 4 nights. The next leg is from Bonterra to Monte Holiday (E04) to stay 4 nights. After that, I plan to drive to De Haro  (E02) to stay another 4 nights, and then finally from De Haro to travel to El Molina de Cabuerniga (E28) for 1 night prior to getting the ferry the next day (afternoon departure).

I plan to get between the sites during one reasonable day's driving, but I'm not sure that this is realistic, being unfamiliar with the roads, speed limits and so on. My vehicle is a Dethleffs Pulse with a decent 180hp engine, so I can do good speeds where conditions permit.

Grateful for any comments or suggestions.

    Hi Deleted User User - thanks for your positive reply - it sounds like I need not worry too much about the distances.

    Hi BB hope you are well.

    What route do you take from Irun?  We came through the day before yesterday across to Tarragona via Pamplona and Zaragoza and had to pay some tolls?

    Thanks to Another David, Bolero Boy and Deleted User - you have given us lots to think about. We'll be making some changes to the route especially as regards the mountainous part!

    By the way, the letters are the Club's references for each of the sites as shown on the maps in the CMC brochure for European trips

    OK cheers, looks like sat navigation took us on AP Road.  Must admit the scenery was truly awful so far but I guess you come here for the sun not pretty hedgerows 😁
