Barcelona to Valencia.

[so called]

Hi all,
Just wanted to ask what the drive down from Barcelona to Valencia is like.
Can anyone recommend a good lunch time rest stop or any must see stops.
Decided to take this route as way of a change from last years direct route from Bilbao to Alicante.

Thanks,
Tony.

Thats a pity. Enjoyed the direct route drive last year apart from the forest fires.
Outside Temp indicator in the car was showing 57° !!!!
From Santander I've got 2 days to get down to Alicante so thought the longer coastal route would have been a good experience.
Thanks for the feedback,
Tony.

Thanks Kneetrembler.
Thats an even longer long way round than I was thinking but it does sound just the job.
OK google map here we go.
