Spanish term or phrase: visita teatralizada
Sentence: 'El sábado 6 estuvo destinado a la visita teatralizada por la judería de Jaén.'

From an article describing events that have been held in various parts of Spain. Many other cities described in the article have held 'visitas guiadas' (guided tours), but in this instance it mentions a 'visita teatralizada'. Is this just another way of saying guided tour or would 'dramatized tour' be a better translation? To me it has a slight ring of translationese.

Explanation:
This is what I've used to translate this in some of my own documents. In your sentence, maybe something like a "tour of the Jewish quarter of Jaén, featuring a historical reenactment".
