Selected
upland/highland
In this case, since the village is at an altitude of just 570 metres, I would avoid the word "mountain". The area is a high hilly area rather than a mountain range.

a mountain village at a moderate height
the village is not very high up, according to this description of A Cañiza:
Su relieve es accidentado, pues está situado entre una zona de monte bajo de la sierra del Faro de Avión (situada al noreste) y el valle del río Deva (al sur). La mayor altitud es en el Alto de la Cruz (1.095 m).
