Sumario:Entrepreneurship can help to solve some problems of current’s society; in rural areas it could influence economy positively, generate employment, curb depopulation and stimulate these spaces. However, the environment in which it will take place can condition it. The aim of this paper was to identify and analyze the Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFCs) that drove or hinder rural entrepreneurship in Extremadura during 2003 – 2012 period. The research was descriptive; the information used came from of experts in the environment to undertake survey of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Extremadura Project. The results allow us to observe that access to physical infrastructure, women’s support and innovation, were the conditions that drove the entrepreneurship; in the other side education, skills and financial support, apparently hindered the new businesses creation in Extremadura.
