Hi I think only allowing 4-5 days you will be missing the point of the trip if you want to ride biking rds, and Santander to Barcelona than Calais unless you got a rocket up your ar5e and riding every motorway ain't do-able in that time scale, I've done Santander to Calais many a time and in 5 days riding biking rds but you got to be pre-pared to put the miles in, and the more into France you get the rds seem to get boring as you seem to be riding away from the great rds rather than to em, northern Spain ie the picos is a great place and fantastic rds to explore at leisure and as your landing there why not get the return ferry home !! otherwise you will be riding splash and dash all the way home, I've done the picos 3 times now and there is still plenty of great rds to ride you will not get bored And Spanish grub is better.
I'm sure you will enjoy your trip but most important is to enjoy it, I've done splash and dash a few times and the places I passed thro I can't even remember em because the focus is on getting home rather than being on holiday.
