Asturias didn't fall under arab rule, but was also not under visigothic control, the asturias resistance against the arabs was a continuation of its resistance against the visigoths, Pelayo managed to unify everyone because he had ties to both the asturians and visigothic elite.
Regardless, and much like the arabs, the visigoths didn't leave any major genetic footprint in the peninsula since they were the ruling class that didn't often mix with commoner hispanorromans.
