You can avoid Madrid or tolls, but not both. Via Madrid is less stressing. When approaching Madrid follow the M50 and leave on exit 31 joining the A3 (ignore R·3 tollroad). No tolls and affordable lodging every +/- 50 kms.

Have a look at Via Michelin on www - we used this - everything you need to know - good luck
I travelled from Santander to Cabo Roig in March - fantastic drive.
I stayed at La Bodega de Quintin, in the town of Villarego de Salvanes - just off the E-901 (South of Madrid).
I booked on booking.com and was £55 per night, travelling to Cabo Roig and then again on return trip.
I only went through one-toll on the entire journey, on the outskirts of Madrid - from memory only a few euros.

Depends on time of arrival at Santander. If late then Burgos is around 2 hours and then drive straight through to Vilamartin. If early and 2 of you share driving, then do it in one.
