For the last decade ETA has been using (and is known to have a large cache of) a form of compressed dynamite. The explosive used in the attack was a more tightly-controlled gel:

"Reading from a text, the spokeswoman gave three reasons why ETA was the culprit, Boom said: No one had asserted responsibility, which followed ETA's style of not making claims for at least a week; the type of explosive was similar to that normally used by ETA; and there was no call beforehand warning of the attacks, another characteristic of ETA -- a point some journalists have disputed."

"Yesterday, Acebes went on national television to say the government still believed ETA carried out the attacks, even though the type of explosive that caused the blast -- a recent form of Goma Dos, which is manufactured in Spain -- hasn't been used by the group in more than a decade."
