Abstract: El presente trabajo se realizo con el fin de estudiar el sector ganadero de lidia espanol desde un punto de vista social y economico, medinate encuestas a ganaderos de lidia. Los resultados del trabajo permiten definir al ganadero "tipo", como un varon de 48 anos, con 2 hijos, que habitualmente no disfruta de vacaciones y que dedica, de media 8 horas, 6 dias a la semana, a su trabajo. Mas de la mitad de las ganaderias venden erales y utreros, un tercio anojos y casi un 50% toros. Los principales problemas a los que se enfrenta el sector son la falta de union, el aumento progresivo de los costes, la reduccion en el numero de festejos y la escasez de mano de obra especializada hacen que los ganaderos, pese a identificarse profundamente con su actividad )que tiene caracter vocacional, tradicional y familiar), expresan su incertidumbre frente al futuro. This work was preformed in order to study the Spanish Lidia livestock sector from social and economical points of view. The results of this paper allows defining the concept of "farmer type" as a 48 years-old man, with 2 children, who does not usually enjoy vacation and works, on average, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. More than one half of the farms sell 'erales' and 'uteros', one third of the farms sell 'anojos' and almost 50% sell 'toros'. The main problems that the sector is facing are the lack of farmers' union, the progressive increase in costs, the reduction in the number of celebrations and shortage of skilled work force. Thus, farmers, despite being deeply identified with their activity (which has a traditional, familiar and vocational nature), expressed their uncertainty about the future.
