Due  to unfortunate  circumstances  😕   I  intend  to  Drive  from Cherburg  in Northern  France  🇫🇷   down to Torrevieja   Costa Blanca 🇨🇷  South,  Only  dates available  to travel  are 18th  December. 

My  query  is  how long  will  complete journey  take  , it  is not possible  to do it in 1 day,

What  Hotel  would  be recommended  that has  secured  Parking  as travelling  in small  van with some Construction 🚧  Tools and small items  of Household  furniture  and a small, Hotel  would need to be Pet  friendly   and reasonably  priced 

Any  advice  greatly appreciate 

TIA

We find the Michelin routeplanner very good.

I've put your start & finish towns in .... https://www.viamichelin.com/web/Routes?departure=50100%20Cherbourg-en-Cotentin%2C%20France&arrival=03181%20Torrevieja%2C%20Spain&index=0&vehicle=0&type=0&distance=km¤cy=EUR&noRestrictions=true&highway=false&toll=false&vignette=false&orc=false&crossing=false&caravan=false&shouldUseTraffic=false&car=hatchback&fuel=petrol&fuelCost=1.778&allowance=0.000&corridor=&fuelConsumption=6.8:5.6:5.6

It gives you a choice of routes, cost of tolls and fuel, hotels along the way and you can alter the options to include or avoid tolls. However, sometimes the  tolls are good value for the time & fuel saved.

It's 17 + hours to drive

For what it worth if it's a van with tools could you not sleep in it to keep tools safe.

It's still 2 long days to drive. Go slowly and stay safe
