Uk to Spain vfr

Good morning all fellow aviators
Right I'm planning on going to Spain in either a c152 or pa28 haven't decided yet although the latter might be more beneficial in terms of space and comfort.
Currently don't have a 737 type rating yet but I'm working on it!
Plus not many airfields hire those do they!
But on a serious note
Does this routing look do able.
I haven't yet got the charts so I've not looked at the airspace in detail
Here is the routing
Egbm-egjj for fuel then
Egjj-lfbd overnight there and re fuel
Lfbd-leso again more fuel
Leso-lemu stay there a couple of nights

Sounds pretty straight forward but with our knowing the airspace restrictions not 100%
would it be advisable to avoid the Pyrenees
Also what maps would you recommend ? Jepersens?
Finally in terms of checking the weather enroute which website is useful
Thanks again
