I'm probably moving back to Spain this summer and I'm doing the same route (I'm from Bilbao). My idea is to do it in a more relaxed way, doing about 60 miles a day, so that it will take me 13 or 14 days to complete it.
I'll be doing it on my daily commuter, 47x17, 23c tyres (can't fit anything bigger), Tubus Fly rear rack with Vaude ortlieb-esque panniers, probably a Carradice Super C over the rack and if I need some extra space I may go for one of these to carry the mat, sleeping bag and something else:
My biggest concern are the hills just after crossing to France and after entering to Spain.
