I crossed at Tangier Med on 31/05. I showed my covid app on phone at Algeciras at passport control. I filled out the health form but no-one wanted to see it, so still have it. I was asked whether I was a journalist or not and asked to show address of where I was staying.
Getting the TVIP took 5 mins. it was simple and a pretty good experience. I bought insurance for 5 days (500MAD) and found my insurer Bikesure does it too but they never told me when I asked as they assumed I'd want equivalent comp insurance and they only do 3rd party, I complained and they apologized so check if your UK insurer would offer 3rd party if they say no at first.
I used an eSim for data, from a company called Holafly, you scan a QR code to install, if your phone supports it' it's an easy option, $27 for 3.5GB of data, it starts when you scan the QR code, you're supposed to be able to install then activate, but mine activated right away and I'd chosen 5 days so it will stop working on day 6, so if you use one, install the day you are going to use and reboot the phone, it worked well after that and I had data from Tangier to Merzouga.
