Mountain road from Granada to Almunecar

My sister and I took a bus from Grenada to Almunecar, Spain. It was a large tour size bus that we caught at the Granada bus station. The route took us across road through steep mountains and hair raising turns. We picked people up from time to time on the side of the road and arrived at the Almunecar Bus Station.
I was terrified and awed at the same time. I couldn't take any pictures of the incredible scenery for fear of distracting the bus driver (we were in the front seat).

I have been looking for this route ever since so that I may download some photos to show people. I remember seeing small signs along the way that made me think we were in a national park. I believe the road was also one way.

Does anyone know the name of this route or where I may find some photos? I have looked on google earth and there appears to be more than one road through these passes.
Thank you!

I have driven one of the routes, but am not sure what router the bus takes. It is certainly an impressive area

I did look on the ALSA bus site for this route. There is a direct non stop (not your route since it stopped),
one that goes through Padul, Dúrcal, Niguelas, Béznar, Puente Ízbor and so on
And another that goes thru Suspiro de Moro and Cazuelas

Look at google maps to see the route between these towns. I don't know the second route but I drove something like the first and it could be what you are talking about.
