When viewing ports including BCN, I prefer to go to the upper pool deck then I have the freedom of walking to both sides. during our April TA Eastbound, we docked with the Port Side facing the dock of Barcelona

The pier in Barcelona is mostly North/South.  To the West is a hill with the Castle de Montjuic.

 

When we were boarding Allure (facing North) you could really only see the city from the front of the ship.  Decent views from the observation area in front of the Solarium.

Oasis class ships usually dock starboardside. (they do sometimes dock portside if they need to use the starboard lifeboats for a drill, that shouldn't be the case here as they usually do the drill in La Spezia)
In BCN that would mean :
If you are in a portside cabin you would have a vue of cargo ships/infrastructure and Montjuic, if you are in a starboardside cabin you would have a vue of the dock + the sea beyond.
Going out of Barcelona doesn't really matter as you are heading out to sea towards Majorca, the coast will be behind you.
However going out of Marseille and heading towards La Spezia, you will have a beautiful view of the french coast/ callenques if you are in a portside cabin.

Also worth noting if you are in a starboard balcony cabin , you will be woken up very early by the noise of the boarding bridges (they have a VERY loud alarm  to warn people that they are moving) while docking in Civitavecchia and BCN on the way back
