Staying fit in a foreign country

Hey guys! My name is Lindsay and I'm from the USA. But I currently live and work in Spain. I've been here for about 3.5 months now and have 3.5 left. I'm normally a very fit and healthy person; i.e. I hit the gym 5x a week, do strength training and cardio, eat healthy and try to drink lots of water. But since moving here, I've gained a little weight and lost a lot of tone. I can't afford a gym here and I have been eating less healthy due to trying all the new Spanish food.
Now, I'm back on track again. Counting my calories/watching what i eat and doing at home workouts at least 4x a week. But, it's still very difficult and I'm scared I'm going to lose motivation. Without a gym it's a lot more difficult for me to stay focused and motivated. Any advice for staying healthy/fit while abroad?

The gym is exciting?
Check out the Meetup App, there may be a local group there that does things like Hiking, group runs, bootcamps, etc.
