What is the latitude and the longitude of Barcelona Spain?

There is no such thing as "absolute" latitude and longitude coordinates. Firstly coordinates are for a point, a very tiny little thing. There will be hundreds of coordinates inside a city's boundaries.

Secondly, coordinates are associated with what is called a "datum". A datum is a mathamatical description of the surface of the earth which is very irregular, not a perfect sphere. There are more than a 100 different datums. There are as many distinct sets of coordinates as there are datums. You did not provide a datum so I picked a convenient one.

The latitude and longitude for the center of the La Plaza de las Glorias Catalanas in Barcelona are N41.4034, E2.18688 using World Geodetic System 1984 datum, commonly referred to as WGS84.

If you had not requested "absolute" information you would not have received such a long answer. Beware what you ask for, you just might get it!
