The tower, which is now quite dilapidated, dates back to the 16th century and was part of a warning system against pirate attacks that stretched around the island.
If you look towards the northwest you can see the Torre d'Albarca and the Talaia Moreia, which were also part of this warning system.
If the tower guard spotted one or more pirate ships, he lit a fire and the smoke or the light at night alerted armed men to defend themselves.
The name Jaume probably goes back to Jaume II, whose father Jaume I conquered Mallorca from the Moors.

As is often the case on Mallorca, the name Talaia, watchtower, was used over time to refer to the entire mountain.

The direct path from Cala Mesquida is quite steep towards the end, but also doable for children. We met several families.
Great view of the holiday resorts of Cala Mesquida and Cala Ratjada.

On (and also off) rose from Cala Ratjada are quite tedious. But that's really worth it !!!

The ruin of the Son Jaumell valley on the summit of the Es Telégraf mountain has a magical appeal, even if it does not look particularly spectacular ...
However, if you take the trouble to climb the partly rather craggy path you will be rewarded with a great view over the bays of Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla. In addition, you can let your gaze wander over the Mediterranean Sea and the neighboring island of Menorca.
At sunrise, a special experience, allderings you should think at home on pocket or headlamps. Without light, the ascent over the mountain path is actually too dangerous ...
