The annual growth rate of consumer prices in Spain slowed to a 22-month low of 3.2 percent in May from 4.1 percent in the previous month, according to the final data published by the Spanish Statistics Office (INE) on Tuesday.

In addition, the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose at a slower pace, by 12 percent after 12.9 percent in April, while the price increase of hotels, cafes and restaurants, as well as home furnishings and household equipment also moderated in May.
