Not really - I mean, in London or in other places like that there are a lot but at least in Spain & Italy there are very few people riding fixed.

In Barcelona, for example, there are maybe 20 people or so. Very few people even on road bikes, most people tend to ride cruisers, folders, MTB, etc.

Throughout Italy - I don't think that we saw a single ss/fixed gear road bike at all.
