They may have been cork oaks (Quercus suber). They shave off the bark to harvest it to make cork from. I've never seen it here in the US but that kind of thing is big in Spain.

Could be white birch or sycamore. Both trees have white bark but may have darker bark near the base. Or you were looking at dead trees, their bark falls off the upper parts first leaving bare wood.
And no, the trees would not have been shaved.
