For Western Europeans, the name Galicia first brings to mind the region in northwestern Spain best known for the famous pilgrimage destination of Santiago de Compostela (with the tomb of the Apostle James the Greater). But the name also appears here, as the name of a national park. The website mazedonien.de writes:

"Galičica National Park, in the southwestern part of North Macedonia, has its highest peak, Magaro, at 2,255 meters above sea level, from where you can enjoy a unique view of the two beautiful lakes, Ohrid and Prespa. The mountains are also home to several rare animals such as bears, lynx, and wolves, but the park also harbors many birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as plants and trees. The park was established on January 1, 1999, under the name 'Bistritsa-Magarita National Park,' but it changed its name to Galičica National Park in March 2008..."
