Not all Hispania belonged to the visigoths, until the late 461 (with Majoranus), part still recognized the roman imperor. But only the guarnitions in the cities were available. Some of the fights between the romans and invaders were made between local populations (like in the nort of Galicia against the vandals), the great landhowners with their slaves, or of course with foederati troops; the counts didn't have oficial troops like palatini or comitati.
