drive from Barcelona to San Sebastian to Madrid

Can this drive be done in 4 days with 2 overnight stops along the way or even Barc to San Sebastian in one day and then San Sebastian to Madrid in another day, if not too hard a drive.

In April, we left San Sebastian in the morning,drove up to Saint-Jean-de-Luz(France) for a short visit, stopped in Pamplona for a stroll & a late lunch and then arrived in Barcelona late in the day. It is doable, especially if you go direct. San Sebastian to Madrid is also quite doable even with a stop in Bilbao. The Autovia is great and very relaxing drive. Our GPS was a helpful too.

Barcelona to San Sebastian is about a six hour drive with no stops. If you intend to stop along the way for pictures, meals, gas, etc., it will be longer. San Sebastian to Madrid is about five hours with no stops. I don't know that you would need two overnight stops, but it depends on what else you want to see along the way.
