Los Austrias
Explanation:
In your example, Los austrias is an area in Madrid, and therefore is not translated (see example below)

Small 40 m2 fully furnished apartment in the historic and romantic ***Madrid de Los Austrias area of the city***. Stylishly decorated and ideal for 2 persons, although there is also a pull-out sofa-bed for extra guests or children. The apartment is located right in the centre of Madrid, 5 minutes walk from the Royal palace and close to metro and bus lines. The minimum stay is for 3 nights.

As mentioned above, "austrias" refers to the Royal House of Austria, in other words the Hapsburgs (or Habsburgs)
