Barcelona and Istanbul look at each other from opposite sides of (across) the Mediterranean.

More loosely, Barcelona and Istanbul face each other across the Mediterranean.

Barcelona and Istanbul look at each other from opposite coasts of the Mediterranean sea.

However, that is not a simple Spanish sentence. it has some literary peculiarities and depending on the context se miran could mean that they are facing each other .


More context, better answers
