Spatial data overlay selection in R - r

Question

I'm trying to overlay some spatial data from a bigger SpatialPolygonsDataFrame (world size) to a smaller (country size), by doing these:
x <- c("rgdal", "dplyr",'ggplot2')
apply(x, library, character.only = TRUE)
est<-readOGR(dsn='/estados_2010',layer='estados_2010')
est_f<-fortify(est)
est$id<-row.names(est)
est_f<-left_join(est_f,est#data)
zon<-readOGR(dsn='/Zonas Homogeneas/gyga_ed_poly.shp',layer='gyga_ed_poly')
zon_f<-fortify(zon)
zon$id<-row.names(zon)
zon_f<-left_join(zon_f,zon#data)
t<-ggplot()+geom_polygon(data=zon_f,aes(x=long,y=lat,group=group,fill=GRID_CODE))
t+geom_polygon(data=est_f,aes(x=long,y=lat,group=group),fill=NA,color='red')+coord_fixed(xlim=est_f$long,ylim=est_f$lat,1)
Which is resulting in this:
I'm want to select only what is being plotted inside the polygon with the red lines.
If someone could help me with this issue, I'll appreciate
PS.: For those who want to reproduce the example completely by yourselves, the files are available in the links above to my google drive:

Thanks in advance.

Since you are using polygons to display the raster values, you can use a spatial selection via [ like in this reproducible example:
library(raster)
library(rgdal)
bra <- getData("GADM", country = "BRA", level = 1)
r <- getData("worldclim", res = 10, var = "bio")
r <- r[[1]]
r <- crop(r, bra)
r <- rasterToPolygons(r)
# bra and raster (now as polygons) have to have the same projection, thusly reproject!
bra <- spTransform(bra, CRSobj = proj4string(r))
here comes the magic!!
r <- r[bra, ]
let's look at the results:
library(ggplot2)
t <- ggplot()+
geom_polygon(data=r,aes(x=long,y=lat,group=group, fill = rep(r$bio1, each = 5)))
t +
geom_polygon(data=bra,aes(x=long,y=lat,group=group),fill=NA,color='red') + coord_map()
