I think you can only count hours flown within your training organization.

I had an issue with a longer-than-expected (10 months!) overhaul of the training aircraft in my club, and I also wanted to change. I even flew with another instructor and another airplane, which was great mentally, but absolutely didn't count into my hours, since that CFI wasn't registered with my training organization.

In the end both the club and I sacrificed a little, and they registered another a/c to their organization, and I could continue without changing schools.

How about talking to your instructor and asking him/her to fly with you in Spain? A little more realistically, maybe take your instructor temporarily to another airfield, rent other planes - and this would probably count towards your PPL, even though temporarily more exensive.
