One of the buses, which is claimed to wear tourists, scored into the back of the other and made him collapse on a tree, local media reported.
The accident happened early in the afternoon in the Avinguida diagonal – one of the widest and most important Avenues of the Catalan capital, near the famous Sagrada Familia monument.
Pictures from the scene show dozens of emergencies surrounding two buses.
It is said that about 20 ambulances were mobilized and hurried to the scene and saved those trapped on vehicles.
The street where the buses established contact was temporarily closed while emergency teams dealt with the collision.
A spokesman for the Coordination Center for Emergency Reaction in the Regional Government said: “About 34 people needed medical attention after the accident between two buses on the Avinguida diagonal.
“Four are in a critical state.”
Three immediately took the hospital to separate hospitals in Barcelona.
The fourth person failed to escape from one of the strongly damaged buses and were to be cut by specialized rescue teams, a spokesman added.
Another spokesman for Autocares Julia, who managed one of the coaches involved in the collision, confirmed that they were on the ship of British tourists at the time.
He said: “Nationality that represented the most on the coach were British, Germany and Italians.
“They were on a cruise that arrived in Barcelona earlier today and were supposed to leave in the next few hours.
“I don’t know if there are British tourists among the most serious injuries. It’s too early to say at this stage.”
The second coach arrived from Lloret de Mar and was full of Italian holidays.
Deputy Mayor of Barcelona Albert Batlle was supposed to head to the scene this afternoon.
Last year, scary pictures showed that the bus remained upright at the entrance to the tunnel after crossing the collision.
Three people were badly injured and the driver remained trapped after breaking in Spain, according to local reports.
The bus switched to at about 8.45am on the C-32 highway in Barcelona between Pineda de Mar and Torder.
As many as 46 passengers were injured with two initially trapped inside.
