Cinza has forgotten what it feels like to be alive.
Then the journey begins. The Fisherman's Way — one of the wildest and most beautiful coastal way in the world. Thirteen stages along the Portuguese Atlantic coast. Cliffs plunging into the sea. Villages forgotten by time. Light unlike anywhere else.
And along this path: encounters that change things. Questions that open up new worlds. Silence that speaks louder than words.
Cinza and the Fisherman's Way is a fairy tale for adults. A journey into the depths of life. A book about what is lost—and what shines back when you stop searching.
For all those who suspect that life holds more in store than they have experienced so far.

AUTHOR
Christian Partner combines what rarely comes together: the experience of someone who knows the world's great paths with the depth of a mentor who has guided individuals and organizations through transitions for decades. Raised in the mountains of Tyrol, he has worked with people in over 80 countries for the past 35 years. Many of these experiences are woven into this book. He has also walked the Fischerweg himself. Step by step. Cliff by cliff.
"When nothing stands between me and the world but breath and footsteps — then the real thing begins."

WHAT THIS BOOK GIVES BACK
The Fisherman's Way gave me this book. Everything in it grew from it – the characters, the senses, the tears, the silence. It would be dishonorable to accept the gift without giving something back.
I thought long and hard about how much would be appropriate. Then I realized that nature already knows the answer.
The Golden Ratio – the proportion according to which shells grow, sunflower seeds arrange themselves, ferns unfurl, and Bach constructed his joints – divides every whole into two parts that relate to each other as the parts relate to the whole. In numbers: the Fibonacci sequence. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...
Cinza has 13 stages. A Fibonacci number.
The book costs 21 euros. A Fibonacci number.
And there's an additional 2 euros for the journey.
Also a Fibonacci number.
21 for the book. 2 for the journey.
A total of 23.
21. 13. 2.
Three Fibonacci numbers. The book, the stages, the gift along the way. Not a single cent invented.
The €2 fee goes to the Rota Vicentina association – specifically for the upkeep, maintenance, and safety of the Fishermen's Way. Not for advertising. Not for marketing. Not to attract more visitors. But so that the trail remains what it is: a living, breathing entity.
When you hold this book in your hands, you hold a piece of the Fisherman's Way. When you read it, you walk it. And when you one day place it on a shelf or pass it on to someone else – then even 2 euros will contribute to keeping the sand on the cliffs, the markings fresh, and the path open for those who come after you.
This book is going. 2 euros are going with it – back to the Way.
- Christian Partner
This book gives back:
Two euros from every copy sold will go to the Rota Vicentina association.
I have gone down this path.
Everything in this book is true – including this,
which never happened.
The butter really did dream.
The monks were really smiling.
The path truly spoke.
