Ponta do Sol starts at the Serrado and Cova do Pico service park and winds its way through some very fast sections, interspersed with a few hairpin bends, all the way to Carvalhal – an area traditionally known for putting on a spectacular show on the streets surrounding the municipal stadium. From there, the special stage begins the climb up to Paúl da Serra. This section is characterised by very fast sections, interspersed with a few hairpin bends and other sections requiring great concentration, until it reaches the beautiful plateau.
