    Three days to get there is optimistic and wouldn't give you much time for stopovers. Cherburg to Alvor is over 2000km so a second driver would certainly help. Aire de services would probably be the best option located every 20-30Km on the motorways. Searching for campsites can be time consuming when you have to leave motorways and drive through villages etc. That been said there's a few stories out there about theft in France and in particularly Spain so staying overnight on motorways isn't always recommended.
    Tolls through France would at a guess be at least €100 each way. Diesel probably around €1000 for the trip, ferry cost around €1200. Three days driving coupled with an 18hr ferry trip each way would eat a lot into your trip. If it was me I'd plan for a three to four week trip to make it worthwhile.
