Simply park up 250km west of Gib and enjoy the traffic.

Yeah, I would say this is your best bet. Going into Gibraltar itself is very rewarding but quite risky.

I agree with jimbuna, but early in 1940, it is not so hard, I can gladly pass there, after that Italy has become "our friends", so it is possible to visit a port

It's a smorgasboard. Tuck in.

Lots of lone merchants on the line between Gib and Cape Sao Vicente. Lots of airplanes on GWX 3.

I have spent my last two patrols there in late 1940, and it has been a bit disappointing. Not as much traffic as I had hoped, and most of it escorted. There are occasionally lone merchants in ones and twos, but a lot of them turned out to be neutrals and I have had the bad luck to sink 2 so far by accident. I'm now happily back in the mid atlantic air gap where I belong.
