In 1966 my OH's dad drove the family to Greece for their summer holiday, camping en route, and they reached Athens by the evening of the fifth day - even though cars, and roads, were a lot worse in those days! We've driven to Greece avoiding Serbia (Germany, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) but took 10 weeks to do it. Portugal would be a lot easier! I agree with KellyW, if the OP is serious, let him have a go.

There are lots of possibilities here ... I don't think the Greece option was totally mad ... it's been done by others ... You can ferry from Brindisi return for about £550 ... cheaper than ferry to Bilbao/Santander.
If you're used to long drives ... and you have meal breaks/coffee breaks et al ... you can safely drive long hauls (I've done London Granada in one go ... some years ago admitedly ... but regularly do long hauls, especially at start of hols) ...
I too drive to first campsite, then wife/kids fly out to nearest airport ... we do the same, in reverse, for return ... they fly back, I drive. Means they get full value timewise, and I, being more flexible, can add the extra time on.
So ... no, I don't think it's a mad idea .. so long as you are able to 'body watch' yourself and ensure that you never drive under fatigued conditions, and are prepared to stop and rest properly, if you are tired.
