Arrival at San Sebastian Airport Mid-April: Norte Walk

@SDN, I would just add that, if you have time on your arrival day the nearby town of Hondarribia is well worth a visit, even if just for a few hours. It's about 5 kms between the two or a quick bus ride - about 15 mins from memory.

Some people begin the Norte from Hondarribia. The walk from SS Donostia airport is even shorter to Hondarribia than to Irun. I've started from both Irun and Hondarribia - and much prefer an afternoon and evening in Hondarribia than Irun. The path from Hondarribia is well signposted and connects with the path from Irun within 10 minutes. The only downside - accommodation options in Hondarribia are usually more expensive, but there are some good value places - and mid-April is before the main 'tourist' season begins.

Wherever you begin, all the best.

Totally agree with @Pelerina’s opinion. If you like little towns with lots of old stone houses with lots of beautiful flower boxes at every window, you will like Hondarribia. I have never stayed there, but I have gone to visit it several times and enjoyed it very much.

Wikiloc has a lot of GPS tracks showing how to get back on the main Norte route. I have friends who have done this and said it’s very straightforward.

And fabulous views from the high town, walks along the waterfront as the sun goes down and excellent food at one of the many tapas bars or gastro bars.

It really is straightforward to join the main route, even without tracks.

PS. Sorry, I sound like a Hondarribia evangelist/travel agent - I've been there many times and never tire of the place.
