Not sure if you’re talking about San Sebastián and the Basque Country but they are far from unknown or underrated. They are, however, absolutely incredible places to visit.

I deliberately excluded the Basque Country because it is better known, and does have some overtourism problems (indeed amazing places, though!)

Asturias is fascinating, and, as you said, does not conform to stereotypes about Spain at all. Except, well, the food is as delicious as elsewhere in Spain :-)

I am happy to hear this - I will be visiting Gijón next month.
Maybe a bit off topic, but do you have any recommendations?
Come fast, before the high-speed rail lines connecting Madrid to several cities in the north and northwest are finished in 3-4 years from now. I cannot guarantee the situation will hold after that, my intuition is that bad infrastructure is a major reason for the relatively little attention these areas attract.
