Your suspicion is correct, there are more than one Bwlch y Groes in Wales, The one between Dinas Mawddwy and Llanuwchllyn is the most famous of them, because it is the highest pass, in Wales, where you can drive your car over. This particular Bwlch y Groes is between Waenfawr and Llanberis, and it is the last climb on the Marathon Eryri, one of the toughest races you can run.
I have tagged this image to the location where it was taken on Panoramio, or as close as I can make it. What I suspect what has happened is that some search engine has picked up on the name, and not the actual location, I don’t have much control over that I’m afraid.
Incidentally, there are also more than one Moel Eilio.
To be more specific, this is a great panorama of the Campo San Giacomo del'Orio [one of many spellings; perhaps St Jack of the hours, or of the laurels - who knows?]
The windows on the left are of the ristorante La Zucca [the pumpkin]. The photo is shown in the correct position, taken from Il Ponte del Megio, but the symbol for La Zucca is misplaced on the map.
