Since Barcelona is in Spain, the language spoken would be Spanish. That's correct... but not a complete answer. The local language spoken in Catalonia (the Spanish region northeast of Spain to which Barcelona belongs) is Catalan, another latin language, also spoken (if only a little) in Roussillon (South of France), and l'Alguer (a town in Sardaigne). Catalan is a major language also in: Balearic islands, Comunitat Valenciana (though they call it "Valencian") and it is the official language in Andorra.
The official languages of Barcelona are both Catalan and Spanish. Catalan is the predominant language in Barcelona and is often used in official settings, while Spanish is also widely spoken as a second language.
Barcelona is the largest city in Europe where Catalan is spoken. It is the capital of Catalonia and a major cultural and economic hub in Spain.
If "Spanish" means Castilian (standard) Spanish, then no, it is not the language of Barcelona and the region of Catalonia, though it is generally understood. The principal language in that northeastern part of Spain is Catalan, which is not a dialect, but a separate language (just as Portuguese is a separate language, not a dialect of Spanish). However, most signs in Barcelona and many other parts of the region of Catalonia are bilingual. One can speak Castilian (Spanish) there and be understood by nearly everyone. But the people living in Barcelona and other towns of the region of Catalonia speak Catalan among themselves.
