On Thursday, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he was "more determined than ever" to stamp out violence after visiting the scene of the blast. Meanwhile, police have discovered two caches of bomb-making equipment and explosives in the Basque country.
In a separate development on Thursday, Basque police said they had found a car packed with explosives. Police said 100kg of explosives was found on Thursday, ready to be used in a bomb, and a further, smaller, stash was discovered nearby on Friday.
They have not linked it directly with the Madrid blast.
Government failures
On Thursday, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he was "more determined than ever" to stamp out violence after visiting the scene of the bombing.
However, a senior official from his Socialist Party acknowledged that the government may have failed by mis-reading signals from Eta, and paid for a lack of communication with the group.
"We have to analyse what happened to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future," Jose Blanco told the radio station Cadena Ser.
The Spanish PM saw the Madrid wreckage at first hand
Basque separatists have accused the government of offering Eta nothing to reward it for its ceasefire.
Nonetheless, Batasuna, Eta's political wing, issued an unusual statement on Thursday saying it "deeply regrets the loss of human life" in the bomb attack and sends "sincere condolences" to the bereaved.
Batasuna has insisted the peace process "is not broken".
Earlier Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba declared it "finished", although Prime Minister Zapatero said he was still committed to a negotiated settlement.
The deaths of the two Ecuadoreans were the first attributed to Eta in more than three years.

'Right to life'
On Thursday, Mr Zapatero said the attack "will achieve nothing, it is not going to intimidate anyone".
"I am more determined than ever to devote my energy to seeing an end to violence and achieving peace", Mr Zapatero said.
All citizens "have a right to a life without bombs or violence," he added.
