Learn Spanish (Latin America): Ando curioseando por los puestos de ropa usada. - I'm walking around browsing through the used clothing stalls.

Both translate to an action happening right now, but using andar (to walk or go around) instead of estar (to be) adds a wandering, continuous feeling. While estoy curioseando simply means "I am browsing," ando curioseando gives the specific vibe of "I am wandering around browsing," which perfectly fits walking through a market.

What verb does the word curioseando come from?

It comes from the verb curiosear, which means to browse, poke around, or snoop. It is built from the adjective curioso (curious). By dropping the -ar and adding -ando, we get the Spanish equivalent of an "-ing" word, which pairs perfectly with ando.

Why use the preposition por instead of en in por los puestos?

While en means "in" or "at" a stationary location, por is used to describe physical movement through, around, or along a space. Because the speaker is actively wandering among the different stalls, por captures that sense of motion through the area.
