Resumo: In Portugal, during the first decades of the 20th century, supporters of vegetarianism and naturism grew, due to the actions of the Sociedade Vegetariana de Portugal. The link between the two realities was palpable from an early age. The followers of these practices defended similar ideas: benefits of water, air, sun and, consequently, a life in contact with nature, along with a natural diet, free from meat and fish, in parallel with attacks on tobacco and exciting drinks and alcohol. Naturists and vegetarians agreed that a way of life that did not conform to the laws of nature was the main cause of illness. The greatest vegetarianism activist was Amílcar de Sousa (1876-1940), a medical doctor who graduated from the University of Coimbra in 1905. He joined naturism in 1910, after becoming a vegetarian. In addition to having authored several works, in 1929, he proposed to the League of Nations the creation of a children’s naturist colony on the island of Madeira. Keywords Amílcar de Sousa; Naturist Colony; Madeira Island; Utopia; Vegetarianism; 20th Century.

A ligação entre as duas realidades foi palpável desde cedo. Isto é, os adeptos destas práticas defendiam ideias semelhantes: benefícios da água, do ar, do sol e, consequentemente, de uma vida em contato com a natureza, a par de uma alimentação natural, isenta de carne e de peixe, em paralelo aos ataques ao tabaco, às bebidas excitantes e ao álcool. Naturistas e vegetarianos estavam de acordo que uma maneira de viver não conforme às leis da natureza era a principal causa das enfermidades. O maior ativista do vegetarianismo foi Amílcar de Sousa (1876-1940), médico formado na Universidade de Coimbra, em 1905, que aderiu ao naturismo em 1910, depois de ter se tornado vegetariano. Além de ter sido autor de diversas obras, em 1929, propôs à Sociedade das Nações a criação de uma colónia naturista infantil na ilha da Madeira.
