hi, that would be great news, but are you sure it´s true. I do hope so, but I can´t find anything to corroborate it, in fact this article on the same day suggests that there were 103 new cases in Alicante province in the 24 hours ending Wednesday 18th March at 8pm, bringing the total in Alicante province to 185: https://www.diarioinformacion.com/alicante/2020/03/19/provincia-acumula-mitad-22-fallecidos/2246733.html
As per the other comment, your information is unfortunately not true. As of 18th March,103 new cases were reported in Alicante: https://www.elperiodic.com/comunitat-valenciana-registra-nuevos-casos-coronavirus-supera-contagios_671632
