There are plenty places to rest on the way and enjoy the scenery . The vegetation is interesting, and the latest attraction are live bears. 
It is not a good idea to do this trip during the summer heat. At 10.00 hr the heat is impressive. However there is a swimming pool in Puigpunyent. Also here you find the 5 star hotel Son Net. They have a pool as well and visitors are welcome if you use their restaurant.  Gallilea nearby is well worth a visit as well. There is a small bar at the church square where they serve local PamBoli.
