May 12 (Reuters) - Spanish national consumer prices rose 4.1% in the 12 months through April, up from 3.3% in the period through March, final data from the National Statistics Institute showed on Friday. The final reading confirmed the 4.1% flash estimate released by INE two weeks ago. Analysts polled by Reuters saw the 12-month inflation through April also at 4.1%. Core inflation, which strips out volatile fresh food and energy prices, was 6.6% year on year, in line with the flash estimate, INE said. The 12-month European Union-harmonised price also confirmed the flash estimate at 3.8%, INE said. (Reporting by Marta Serafinko, editing by Inti Landauro)
