Is there any common website for Spanish intercity bus timetables?

Question

As I wrote in an answer some time ago, there are, in my opinion, very good bus connections in Andalusia (and elsewhere in Spain). But I don't know of a single site where you could easily check the routes, schedules, and prices for any intercity bus trips in Spain.

Checking websites of individual companies is a workaround, yes. And if you don't know what company runs a certain route, you can usually google it up; for example: "santander bilbao autobus" → at least Termibus and ALSA.)

But my question is, is there any good aggregate bus search engine for Spain? Something like Plataforma 10 for Argentina & neighbouring countries, or Matkahuolto for Finland.

When I was living in Spain I always used Movelia. They also have an english version now.

EDIT: Apparently AvanzaBus is not an aggregate of bus companies (thanks for the comment)

I would suggest you check out a Montreal Start-Up called BusBud - they are handling schedules from around the world including intercity schedules in Spain.

I came across a site called AAutobuses.com.

El portal aautobuses.com le ofrece información sobre las principales líneas regulares de autobuses de nuestro país.

The site isn't very pretty, and it's only in Spanish^*****.

Anyway, AAutobuses seems reasonably comprehensive. Compared to the other options presented, it is better:

If Movelia works for some route (e.g. Logroño - Bilbao), then the information provided is more complete (= includes price, etc) than that of AAutobuses. But for lots of routes Movelia is just useless.
With Budbus it just depends on whether someone has happened to enter the timetables you're looking for. AAutobuses was better or equal for everything I tried.

(Some of my test searches: Santander–Bilbao, Sevilla–Cádiz, Valencia–Madrid, Vigo–La Coruña, Logroño–Bilbao.)

^*****That shouldn't matter much, as long as you understand what something like LMXJV or LMXJVSD means on the timetables. If you don't, here's the key:

L = Monday (lunes)
M = Tuesday (martes)
X = Wednesday (miércoles)
J = Thursday (jueves)
V = Friday (viernes)
S = Saturday (sábado)
D = Sunday (domingo)
