I have been following the forum on the stats for this walk with great interest. I realise that this Camino won't have the facilities or infrastructure of the others but that is part of its charm.
I plan on leaving at the end of March 2018 and start from Seville. I have to admit that some of those long stretches are a bit daunting! I would have been learning Spanish by a year then which I am sure I will use lots.

Some but not all, and other routes too.

My research and question asking of the experts tell me that March is a good time to go, not to hot for those long stretches (I hope).

It would be a good time. Only issue might be lots of water across the track in some places. However, there is always the road to walk on to get round this - or in some cases, stepping stones.

Yeah, March is fine.

There is more infrastructure on this camino every year, so you may be surprised over how many of the long stretches now can be sub-divided.
