The first one looks like the land snail genus Placostylus, but I can't place the species.
The second one is a Balcis species, in the family Eulimidae. Probably either Balcis martini or Balcis grande. Â (Actually I think these two may be synonymous.)

I noticed the resemblance of the first shell to Ellobium, and it was a toss up between that and Placostylus. Â But there are only a few medium size species of Ellobium, and I didn't think this shell matched them very well. Â It certainly isn't E. aurismidae. Â The most likely candidate would be E. aurisjudae, but I have several specimens of that species, and mine are much more slender. Â Still ... maybe just a wider, more solid form of that species? Â Could be!

podria tratarse de Ellobium chinense Pfeiffer, L., 1856 ?

Looks like a good match!
