Go for it! We started in Hasselt (BE) and followed a simular route so far. I have heard the part in northern Spain gets pretty crowded with pilgrims during summer months though.

North Africa might be kinda weird or dangerous but I’m no expert on travel there now.

I don’t think you can enter Algeria from Morocco via land. I’d imagine it’s the same going Algeria to Morocco too.

Assuming the start and finish are accurate, wouldn’t a May start put you in Sicily and North Africa in the summer?? That would be brutal, temperature-wise, and that’s putting aside the very explicit travel advisories in Tunisia and Algeria.

I’m only going to talk about the part of the Iberian Peninsula, which is what I know. I would use the track as a guide but I wouldn’t follow it all the time. For example, in the north of Spain (where I’m from) you’re going to do the French Way of St. James. I simply recommend that you follow the areas that you like wherever you are. If you see a mountain or an area that catches your attention, leave the track and go there because you’re going to discover something incredible that will make your trip much more enriching.
In the area of Portugal it seems that you’re going to avoid the Serra da Estrela, and I strongly recommend to don’t do that. It will be a very difficult but spectacular path.

You are not crazy. Have a wonderful time.
It will be hot, man.
