If you would like to work in Barcelona, yes. This is the minimum amount of time required by the Spanish government in order to qualify for a long-term student visa, which will allow you to work legally. You can study for less time if you like and get a 3-6 month student visa, but you will not be allowed to work.
It varies from country to country but on average you should give yourself 2 months from start to finish.
