In the EEUU, the first day of April is April Fool's Day, a day for playing jokes on friends and relatives. Does the same custom exist in Asturias?

In Spain, and also in other countries, we have a similar celebration on Dec. 28, the so-called "Día de los Santos Inocentes" (Innocent Saints Day). The origin of the festivity is not so joyful though, since it commemorates Herod's slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem.
Regards and watch out today!
