I went down to Spain in September/October. I travelled from home (Longtown) which is on the Scot's border, via Calais, and the down to Barcelona.

All was on main roads (except in the UK), and the saving in tolls paid for the fuel. It took around 10 days to get down, all of which were very pleasureable - you get to see much more of the 'rael' France if you stay on main roads.

We came back a different way, but still via A roads. Mileage was around 3.5K.

I'd do the same trip again tomorrow, though to be absolutely truthful, I'd rather start from Dover!!
