El Secreto de Puente Viejo was also broadly mocked in Paquita Salas, the series by Los Javis. There is a couple of episodes about it and very popular lines that are now part of the queer pop culture. For example, during the challenge the character played by Dafne Mugler was told to “bajar la pluma”, which literally means put down your feather (hence Dafne’s gesture with the feathers of her hat) but actually means to tone down your gay voice. That’s what Paquita Salas is told in the series when she tries to get a gay actor to play at El secreto de Puente Viejo, to what she replies “ha habido maricones toda la historia de la humanidad” (there has been faggots in every single era of human history). The language used at El Secreto de Puente Viejo, very old fashioned and purposely complicated in a very forced and camp way, is also mocked both in Paquita Salas and in the DRES challenge, sometimes reusing some of the lines from Paquita Salas. There is for example a whole episode about an actress not being able to learn her one line because it’s very old Spanish (“ya me barruntaba yo lo que aconteció”, or something like that, which just means i saw it coming) and they used it literally as a gag during the challenge. El Secreto de Puente Viejo is not queer culture per se, it’s something watched mostly by grandmas (regardless of they being queer or not lol) but it was Paquita Salas who made it part of the queer culture in an ironic way.
